Unwrapping The Gift: she gave up her kidney after mine gave up on me.

"The banging at my front door proved to be more than just a wake-up call. As I stumbled toward the racket and cautiously opened the door, what I saw on the other side shook me to my core.

"That was just the first of many frightening doors that I would have to open. My kidneys had given up on me - and they weren't coming back. Although I had been blessed with many amazing gifts, the gift I needed most - the gift I couldn't live without - was the gift that I did not have."

This book is more than just a retelling of kidney failure and the events that followed, it's a powerful reminder that a single knock at the door can change your life, too. Unwrapping can prepare you with the resolute courage you will need when that knock comes for you.

But Steve's frenetic activity came to a halt on March 8, 2019 - the day his kidneys failed, and his life was almost cut. Thankfully, another ending was meant to be written - an ending that shouts both inspiration and hope to all. That ending is why this book had to be written.
